Detailed Description

Regular Polygon geometry type.

A regular polygon is a polygon that is equiangular (all angles are equal in measure) and equilateral (all sides have the same length). The regular polygon is defined by a center point with a number of sides/vertices, a radius and the first vertex.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ ConstructionOption

A regular polygon can be constructed inscribed in a circle or circumscribed about a circle.

Enumerator
InscribedCircle 

Inscribed in a circle (the radius is the distance between the center and vertices)

CircumscribedCircle 

Circumscribed about a circle (the radius is the distance from the center to the midpoints of the sides)

Definition at line 48 of file qgsregularpolygon.h.
